A SOLUTION TO AN ”UNSOLVED

PROBLEM IN NUMBER THEORY”

Allan J. MacLeod

Abstract. We discuss the problem of finding integer-sided triangles with the ratio base/altitude or altitude/base an integer. This problem is mentioned in Richard Guy’s book ”Unsolved Problems in Number Theory”. The problem is shown to be equivalent to finding rational points on a family of elliptic curves. Various computa-tional resources are used to find those integers in [1,99] which do appear, and also find the sides of example triangles.

In this section, we want to study the family of the irreducible rational plane quintic curves with a 4-tuple point, with respect to the V -WGS at the singular point, where V is

We conclude from the birational transformations given in ( 7 ) that there are no finite rational points ( t, a ) satisfying ( 1 ) so that the determination of the integral values of

A family of such numbers is given for which the Mordell-Weil rank of their associated elliptic curves equals 2, the maximal rank and expected rank for a congruent number curve of

The existence of an interior extension with critical points on the boundary is proved for a given closed normal curve and for nonnormal curves of specific kind.. 2000

Moreover, the function u ( x ) is viewed as a solution of the corresponding nonhomogeneous elliptic problem and is not assumed to be known a priori; only the right-hand sides of

In [3] the problem is considered with a nonlinear elliptic operator, in [6] and [15] the case of functional partial differential equations is investigated.. The results concerning

The obtained abstract result is applied to a non regular boundary value problem for a second order partial differential equation of an elliptic type in a cylindrical domain.. It

According to the basic idea of the method mentioned the given boundary-value problem (BVP) is replaced by a problem for a ”perturbed” differential equation con- taining some
